Bout time someone sees doing things like me. I no longer work, but I really don’t want to stand around baking sheets of paper for 6-8 hours. Call me lazy, that’s ok, I just know what I will or will not do. I’ll do your method. Ty for sharing 😊

New subbie. Great idea, ate an ice cream with my left hand, dyed with my right - huge batch of papers in mega quick time. Finished dyeing before I finished the ice cream. Air drying them tomorrow as it is so hot here in England. Many thanks

[@shawcraft1]

I love it!

[@VintageBohemian]

Great technique. I do dip/spray and bake sometimes but mostly just spray and iron when wet. But this is another unique take on the tedious coffee/tea dying & baking process.

I have been doing this in small batches for days and I love this method. Thanks for sharing! And BTW, I want your chili recipe!! Thanks again!

[@shawcraft1]

Oh, yay! I hope it's working out wonderfully for you! I have the easiest chili recipe ever! Here it is ... 2 cans chili beans, 2 cans diced chili tomatos, 1 can tomato sauce, 1 lb ground beef browned with onions mixed in, 1 package chili seasoning. Put them all in your pot and simmer for about an hour! Easiest, quickest chili you'll ever make. I add cheese, fritos, diced onion, and sour cream to my bowl with a little verde salsa and it's the absolute best! I call it chili frito pie and my kids always loved having it for supper. My hubby adds jalapeno's to his. It's perfect for a quick meal. If you need to eat it on the go, just get yourself some serving size fritos bags, add it all in to the bag and throw in a disposable spoon and go go go!

[@Jenny-W1910]

@@shawcraft1 hi diane, i had to leave another comment after trying your techniques. i LOVE this way of coffee dying-yes! it saved lots of time, especially using parchment paper on the oven racks. i use to just put a few sheets of paper on cookie sheets but using the actual oven racks holds a lot more papers. thanks again for sharing these ideas-they all worked great! :)

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

Just FYI, I found out just by accident when I dyed too much paper at once that if you separate the paper with paper towels and just lay the stay on the racks that it dries in twice the time. I am new to this and this may be known to others already but just my 2 cents worth. Love the videos!!!

[@fabcraftsandmore]

The Crafty Realtor did you mean half the time? Because twice the time would be longer. 😉

[@VintageBohemian]

Great idea, I have always taken great pains & processed only 1 pg @ a time & I end ups spending the entire day coffee dying paper, UGH.....so I am out of CS paper so guess what I'm going to do now?? lol. Thx sweetie, toodles.

Great tips! I need to dye some paper but just haven’t had time needed. Maybe this will work better for me!

[@lynnmartin5141]

Hi I know this is an older video, but I like your style. I use a paintbrush my coffee is in a big mason jar then I sort of rag roll so it isn’t dripping, and hang them on my line or airier in my craft room, doesn’t take long I can’t be doing with too much standing and achy arms, my way is pretty quick, dries couple hours to overnight I love the colour it comes out, I just use copier paper as this thickens the paper lovely, I also have different coloured water coloured ink in jars too.Thank you xx😁🧡

Fantastic, I am going to try this today. I use a very strong concentrated coffee or tea mixture so I am curious to see just how long it will take to get the hue I desire before the baking process. If this turns out to my satisfaction you will have done me a GREAT service by sharing this technique because I usually spend literally DAYS dying paper and I absolutely HATE it lol. But it is one of those necessary evils in the creation of my Vintage JJ's. Thx sweetie.

[@bettylongshore9594]

Love this technique! When I tried it using plain printer paper, I wound up with lengthwise wrinkles. Not sure what I did wrong. I thought I'd be able to iron the wrinkles out, but they were really "set in" by the time the paper dried. Oh, I let the paper air dry since it is so hot where I live. I'm going to give it another try though because it really is fast!!!!

[@shawcraft1]

Sometimes I get the wrinkles too, but I just think it adds to the character of the page so I still use them! hopefully, you will get better results next time. try spreading your paper out a little more if you can, or even rearrange it in the pan every now and then, maybe that will prevent the wrinkles?

[@bettylongshore9594]

Oh, believe me, I am using the wrinkled paper!!!! :-) Yours just looks smoother than mine! I sprayed some today and had great results, but want more color. I may respray tomorrow and see how that turns out. It's almost wrinkle free!!! Thank you so much for your reply!!!!

[@ClareCreationsAL]

Great tips! How do you make your own sprays? I did my first try at coffee dying and drying in the oven the other day. In an hour I had made enough paper to do one junk journal. I knew this wasn't time efficient, especially when my energy is very limited. So I'm glad you showed this way! I did start laying two papers per pan and I baked at 250. But I kept wondering , if I was in the kitchen, why did I have to bake at such a low temp? I was steadily moving, making a pan and putting it in the oven, making another, putting it in, etc. I had 7 pans going on my 3 oven racks. I'm wondering what would happen if you put that pan of paper that is stacked in the oven after you pour off any loose coffee. I'm all about making something faster! LOL Thank you so much for sharing!!!!

[@shawcraft1]

Leslie, I will try to do a tutorial on making the sprays. I broke my tripod tonight, so I'm going to have to order another one, but I will do the tutorial as soon as I can. I have put the whole pan full in the oven before. You just have to check them often and pull from the bottom up so they don't burn. But they come out just fine that way too!

[@ClareCreationsAL]

Shaw Craft 1 Awesome! I’ve made a spray now. I used it when I put a doily over the paper to do a second dying. It was so pretty! Sorry about your tripod.

[@DenisePoole-Closet-Crafts]

Leslie Clare Jones Creative Pzazz I did see a video where the lady soaked the papers in the roasting pan then poured the tea away and just put the whole pan n papers in the oven. She did this with a ream of papers all in one go in the pan, and all worked out fine.

So you have a video of how you make your version of Tim holtz spritzers?

[@shawcraft1]

Not Tim Holtz sprays because those are a specific formula, but I do have one on homemade ink sprays

[@kayseals692]

So do you take the whole racks back out or just reach in and grab the papers with your bare hands when they are dry

[@shawcraft1]

I do both! I check the papers to see if they're dry. If they aren't all dry, I may pull the racks out and take out the dry ones and put the wet ones back in. Sometimes, if just the top ones are dry, I will snatch them out with bare hands but be careful not to burn yourself! Ask me how I know, lol

[@joanprice6886]

I do something similar except I put the coffee in the container and then dip each page and hang to dry. If they aren’t to my liking, I iron them. Also I need to know how the coffee aroma can be camouflaged?

[@shawcraft1]

hmmm, I'm not sure about the aroma. I love the coffee smell so I've never tried to camouflage it. I think I've heard of people putting cinammon and vanilla in the coffee to help with that?

[@esthaviojon9025]

God bless America

[@NarrowPathDiaries]

Do you add baking soda to the coffee before putting it on the paper?

[@shawcraft1]

No, I've never used baking soda? Is it supposed to help? I'm curious now haha

[@ajennyforyourthoughtscincy]

I just watched this and am excited about the method. I put my papers in to soak But I am confused about why yours look partially dried when you separate them on the baking sheet. Mine are still sopping wet from yesterday!

[@shawcraft1]

Yay! I'm so glad you are trying it out. Mine look partially dry because sometimes I don't have time to get back to them for a few days and they do start drying out on their own. I have even left them sitting in the pan for 2 weeks before I actually got back to them to get them out to dry them lol

[@nancyhansen8844]

When I watch ideas for dying paper no one every says what kind of paper they use. I have used copy paper, but sometimes it tears so easily. And your method of stacking looks great, but do they stick together and tear?

[@shawcraft1]

Sometimes they do stick together and tear, but I love the torn look so I don't mind when that happens. I just try to be careful and not tear too many of them. I use basic 20# copy paper from Walmart

[@donnamcneil6748]

How do you get the smell of coffee out of the paper

[@shawcraft1]

I don't! I actually love the smell, so I leave it. I find that once it sits for a while, it tends to lose the smell but I don't mind it. You could try to let it air out in the outdoors, or put it on a plastic bag in the freezer with a bit of baking soda in it. I do that when I have an old book that smells bad. It generally helps.

Hi, I’m brand new to journaling. How long do you leave the paper in the oven baking?

[@shawcraft1]

It's according to what you have your oven set on. I put mine on 350 and stand right there with it and check it about every 2 minutes, but you have to watch it closely to make sure it doesn't burn. You can also heat your oven to about 250 and check it every 5 minutes or so. You just have to kind of gauge it according to how your own oven heats.

hi there, thank you for sharing your process. I am a little curious though about the idea of this being faster than other methods because you talk about letting this sit overnight - 2nights. How is that faster than other methods? still a great video and interesting idea either way :)

[@shawcraft1]

I don't think I said it was faster, it's just the way I do it and it's fast for me. You don't have to leave it in there for 2 nights, or even a night. The point was, you can leave it sit as long as you need to until you have time to get back to it and you don't have to spend a whole day dedicated to coffee dying paper. It's simply just a way to multi task and get coffee dying done while you are doing other things as well.
